Printing Grids

New features in version 2.1

• Support for Cell Graphics in the Grid being printed. The visible portion of cell pictures can now be printed along with the text content. All cell picture alignments are supported



• Printing of a program defined selected area (irrespective of any user grid cell selection) is now possible via the API. This is intended to support the use of MsFlexgrids as interactive spreadsheets



• A section of text lines can now follow the page title. Lines of text can be displayed as a sub-title or as a description/introduction to the output. These lines have their own font and justification settings. This feature is not available from the user dialogue (who wants yet another tab?) but only via the API

Minor Changes

• PrintGrid now attempts to detect printers that do not support multiple copies and disables the copies option where appropriate



• Selecting to show cell background colours now works even when the grid line printing has not been selected



• Full control over the title font is now available from the user dialogue or via the API (the original API control over limited title font settings is still supported for backwards compatibility). The dialogue now displays the title using the selected font. This also cleared up a minor bug in the user dialogue



• Compressed print now supports an optional proportional compression mode that ensures that horizontal and vertical compressions are the same. This improves the presentation of compressed grids that include cell graphics



• Plus some minor improvements to the overall code efficiency
